Electronic music duo, Beta to the Max, is the 8-bit equivalent of a happy acid trip, combining innocent nostalgia with dance party fever by fusing the chiptune sounds of vintage video games with modern house and electro influences.

Born in 2009 in the darkest basements of a Los Angeles art school, Beta to the Max is the disturbed but enthusiastic love child of composer Bob Allaire and music technologist Steve Rusch, and is the final culmination of a chance meeting that occurred when Bob inadvertently stepped between Steve and a buffet table.
